Volume Growth, Entropy and the Geodesic Stretch

چکیده
Let (M, g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with universal covering M̃ . The simplest asymptotic invariant which can be associated to (M, g) is the exponential growth rate h(g) of volume on the universal covering, called the volume entropy. If B r (p) denotes the geodesic ball of radius r about p ∈ M̃ and volg(B r (p)) describes its volume with respect to the Riemannian metric g lifted to M̃ then volume entropy is given by

ENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE
There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...
متن کاملExponential Growth of Spaces without Conjugate Points
An n-dimensional polyhedral space is a length space M (with intrinsic metric) triangulated into n-simplexes with smooth Riemannian metrics. In the definitions below, we assume that the triangulation is fixed. The boundary of M is the union of the (n− 1)-simplexes of the triangulation that are adjacent to only one (n− 1)-simplex. As usual, a geodesic in M is a naturally parametrized locally shor...
متن کاملEntropy of Hyperbolic Buildings
We characterize the volume entropy of a regular building as the topological pressure of the geodesic flow on an apartment. We show that the entropy maximizing measure is not Liouville measure for any regular hyperbolic building. As a consequence, we obtain a strict lower bound on the volume entropy in terms of the branching numbers and the volume of the boundary polyhedrons.

متن کاملGeometric Entropy of Geodesic Currents on Free Groups
A geodesic current on a free group F is an F -invariant measure on the set ∂F of pairs of distinct points of ∂F . The space of geodesic currents on F is a natural companion of Culler-Vogtmann’s Outer space cv(F ) and studying them together yields new information about both spaces as well as about the group Out(F ). The main aim of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of geometric ent...
